Virender Sehwag's Son Aaryavir Falls Short: Misses Ferrari Prize By 23 Runs!
Virender Sehwag's son Aaryavir missed winning a Ferrari by just 23 runs, but his innings drew praise from fans and his proud father alike.
Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag celebrated his son Aaryavir's epic 297-run innings in the Cooch Behar Trophy, a premier under-19 four-day tournament. Representing Delhi at Shillong's MCA Stadium, Aaryavir smashed 51 fours and three sixes against Meghalaya at a jaw-dropping strike rate of over 90.
While applauding his son's brilliant innings on social media, Sehwag humorously reminded Aaryavir of a 2015 promise. The former India opener had pledged to gift him a Ferrari if he broke his record of 319 runs. Aaryavir missed the milestone by just 23 runs, but his innings drew praise from fans and his proud father alike.
